Is this too much? I never know. Comments, edits, whatever, all welcome.--Giggidy (talk) 20:00, 10 September 2016 (EDT)

We-ell, Year of the Monkey Optimus Primal did have a BW20 logo on... --Riptide (talk) 20:05, 10 September 2016 (EDT)

Lol! That's funny. Great minds I guess.--Giggidy (talk) 12:42, 11 September 2016 (EDT)

Okay, sorry, but neither of these are viable for actual pages. There's any number of arbitrary anniversaries that don't get officially recognized in ways to satisfy certain subgroups of fans. This is, at BEST, a trivia note on the BW franchise page, if that. --M Sipher (talk) 17:25, 11 September 2016 (EDT)

I dunno, I think the fact that it has been acknowledged twice - with actual logos, to boot! - makes it more reasonable. Buuuut I get that joke pages have to be particularly good to be viable, so yeah, maybe not a great idea. (A trimmed down version of this as a subsection of the BW franchise page would be a reasonable compromise, perhaps?) --Riptide (talk) 17:37, 11 September 2016 (EDT)

A "20th Anniversary" subsection, with snark about the underwhelming amount of product (and noting the competing, more "mass-marketable" concurrent anniversary) would be acceptable, yes. --M Sipher (talk) 17:52, 11 September 2016 (EDT)

I think Riptide articulated my thinking about it. The presence of actual logos points out that parts of Hasbro and its licensees are aware of the situation, and are the seed around which the pages germinate. But you're right, I think the joke could work well as a sub-section on the franchise page. --Giggidy (talk) 18:19, 11 September 2016 (EDT)
